# Reasoning — Global Fix Map

A compact hub to keep long chains stable, prevent collapse, and make decisions auditable.  
Use this folder when answers drift across runs, chains dead end, or the model rewrites reality during long plans.  
Every page maps symptoms to exact WFGY fixes with measurable targets. No infra change required.

## Orientation: what each page solves

| Page | What it fixes | Typical symptom |
|---|---|---|
| [Entropy Overload](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/entropy-overload.md) | Caps branching and token wander | Steps keep growing, plan never lands |
| [Recursive Loop](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/recursive-loop.md) | Breaks self reference loops | Chain circles back to the same step |
| [Hallucination Re entry](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/hallucination-reentry.md) | Prevents re asserting wrong claims | Model repeats a false claim after correction |
| [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/logic-collapse.md) | Rebuilds structure and legal jumps | Jumps without citing the step that caused it |
| [Symbolic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/symbolic-collapse.md) | Guards abstraction changes | Frame jump breaks meaning, invariants vanish |
| [Proof Dead Ends](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/proof-dead-ends.md) | Adds pivots and escape hatches | Chain stalls at an unprovable step |
| [Anchoring and Bridge Proofs](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/anchoring-and-bridge-proofs.md) | Builds safe bridges across frames | Need to cross domains without losing semantics |
| [Context Stitching and Window Joins](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/context-stitching-and-window-joins.md) | Stabilizes long windows and joins | Window roll drops the anchor or flips the claim |
| [Chain of Thought Variance Clamp](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/chain-of-thought-variance-clamp.md) | Makes reruns agree | Reruns disagree because thoughts wander |
| [Redundant Evidence Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/redundant-evidence-collapse.md) | Balances majority and minority facts | Too many similar snippets drown the truth |

---

## When to use this folder

- Multi step answers change when you rerun the same prompt  
- Chains go in circles or re assert a claim after correction  
- Logic jumps without citing the source that drove the jump  
- Long chats lose earlier anchors when the window rolls  
- Plans grow without bound and never converge

---

## Acceptance targets

- ΔS(question, selected_evidence) ≤ 0.45 on all runs  
- Coverage of the target section ≥ 0.70 with cite then explain  
- λ_observe convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds  
- E_resonance flat across long windows and at window joins  
- Deterministic step count for plan stages after clamps

## Fix in 60 seconds

1) **Measure ΔS and observe λ**  
   Probe ΔS(question, selected_evidence). Sample λ across two seeds and three paraphrases.  
   If ΔS ≥ 0.60 or λ flips, you have structural drift.

2) **Apply the right clamp**  
   - Wandering thoughts → variance clamp  
     Open [Chain of Thought Variance Clamp](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/chain-of-thought-variance-clamp.md)  
   - Lost anchor at joins → micro bridges  
     Open [Context Stitching and Window Joins](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/context-stitching-and-window-joins.md)  
   - Abstract jumps → bridge proofs  
     Open [Anchoring and Bridge Proofs](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Reasoning/anchoring-and-bridge-proofs.md)

3) **Contract the payload and cite first**  
   Enforce snippet schema and cite then explain.  
   Open [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) and [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)

4) **Verify**  
   Coverage ≥ 0.70, ΔS ≤ 0.45, λ convergent on two seeds.  
   If flat high ΔS remains, fix retrieval first with the playbook.  
   Open [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md)

## Copy paste diagnostic prompt

```txt
Context: TXT OS and WFGY pages are loaded.

Task:
- For question Q, log ΔS(Q, selected_evidence) on 3 paraphrases and 2 seeds.
- Report λ states across steps, and the first point where drift starts.
- Recommend the smallest page from this folder that will clamp variance
  and recover anchors. Name the page and the exact subsection.
- Return a reproducible check that proves ΔS ≤ 0.45 and coverage ≥ 0.70.

Return JSON only:
{ "ΔS": 0.xx, "λ": "<>|→|←|×", "failing_step": "...",
  "page": "anchoring-and-bridge-proofs", "subsection": "...",
  "verify": "run X, expect Y" }
